Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel
Artemis Fowl: The Graphic Novel will be published later this month by Hyperion Books for Children. Marking the first visual representation of Eoin Colfer’s popular character, the graphic novel has been written by Colfer and Andrew Donkin, with art by Giovanni Rigano.
Promotional plans for the book include extensive consumer advertising, information distributed through online comic sites, a Book Sense light box mailing for independent booksellers, and ads in library and teaching journals.
Hyperion hopes Artemis Fowl will attract the prose novels’ millions of fans as well as new readers from the graphic novel market.

Born on 14th May 1965 in Wexford, South-East Ireland Eoin Colfer attended Dublin University to gain his degree and qualify as a primary school teacher like his father before him. Returning to Wexford to begin his teaching career he left his home county once again in 1992, this time with his now wife Jackie, whom he married in 1991, to teach in East Africa, Asia and Europe (Italy) over a period of four years. His first book, Benny and Omar was inspired by his experiences in Tunisia, East Africa and was published in 1998. It has since gone on to be translated into several different European languages.
